Although the exact origin of this quote is unclear, it reflects Jodi's emphasis on integrating the rational and intuitive aspects of human nature, as well as her concern for social justice and equality. As a historian, I note that Jodi's teachings often drew on her own experiences with trauma and adversity, which she sought to transform into opportunities for growth and healing.\n\n**The Hidden Insight**\nThe quote reveals a profound paradox: that the very qualities we often value as strengths, such as the eagle's sharp vision and strategic thinking, can also be the source of our greatest weaknesses, including judgment, competition, and domination. By contrast, the condor represents a more holistic and inclusive approach, one that prioritizes cooperation, empathy, and mutual support.\n\n**How to Use This**\nTo apply this mindset in your own life, try to recognize when your \"eagle\" tendencies (e.g., critical thinking, ambition) are getting in the way of your \"condor\" qualities (e.g., compassion, creativity). Practice shifting your attention and energy towards the aspects of yourself and your work that embody the condor's spirit of collaboration and mutual support. By doing so, you can begin to rebalance your inner power structures and cultivate a more holistic and inclusive approach to your personal and professional life.",{"id":36,"quote_text":37,"author_id":5,"source_id":17,"has_image":18,"author":38,"source":39,"quote_tag":40,"commentary":9},3141355,"But within the winter, a spring is promised and prepared for.",{"id":5,"author_name":6,"slug":10,"author_name_first_letter":7,"article_count":8,"image_url":9},{},[],{"id":42,"quote_text":43,"author_id":5,"source_id":44,"has_image":18,"author":45,"source":46,"quote_tag":47,"commentary":9},764770,"Deciding to be a better person makes us a better person.

The era of her life relevant to this sentiment is likely the 2010s, when she was actively writing about mindfulness and self-care. The quote reflects her emphasis on acknowledging one's accomplishments and cultivating self-compassion in the face of a busy and often overwhelming world.\n\n**The Hidden Insight**\nWhat lies beneath the surface of this quote is the tension between acknowledging one's accomplishments and the tendency to be overly self-critical. Aman is urging us to take a moment to honor our skills and accomplishments, yet this can be a difficult task for many individuals who are prone to self-doubt and criticism. By doing so, Aman is highlighting the importance of self-compassion and acknowledging that our skills and accomplishments are worth recognizing and celebrating.\n\n**How to Use This**\nTo apply this mindset today, take a moment each week to reflect on your accomplishments and skills, no matter how small they may seem. Write them down in a journal or share them with a friend or loved one, and take a moment to genuinely thank yourself for your hard work and dedication.",{"id":56,"quote_text":57,"author_id":5,"source_id":44,"has_image":18,"author":58,"source":59,"quote_tag":60,"commentary":9},707259,"All we have to do is forgive ourselves wholly and completely for ever thinking that we are not good enough!",{"id":5,"author_name":6,"slug":10,"author_name_first_letter":7,"article_count":8,"image_url":9},{},[61,66],{"id":62,"tag":63},3481566,{"id":64,"tag_name":65},13030,"good-enough",{"id":67,"tag":68},3481565,{"id":69,"tag_name":70},14439,"forgive-yourself",{"id":72,"quote_text":73,"author_id":5,"source_id":44,"has_image":18,"author":74,"source":75,"quote_tag":76,"commentary":9},701355,"Everyone we interact with becomes a part of us.",{"id":5,"author_name":6,"slug":10,"author_name_first_letter":7,"article_count":8,"image_url":9},{},[77],{"id":78,"tag":79},3466371,{"id":80,"tag_name":81},11780,"interaction",{"id":83,"quote_text":84,"author_id":5,"source_id":44,"has_image":18,"author":85,"source":86,"quote_tag":87,"commentary":9},689997,"But we are not separate from our children.
